in CCNA & CCENT
After a couple of months of studying I passed the Icnd 2 then the 1 yesterday. They were scheduled in that order by accident but turned out to be for the best. I want to thank this forum as it was a huge help in my passing.
Study materials
Lammle's ccna book (read all at once)
Cbt nuggets
Packet tracer
Thoughts on the tests:
Icnd 2
This test was a hard intro into cisco testing, but very doable. A lot less labs than I woul have liked (my strong suit) but a good mix of questions. I finished with 20minutes to spare but felt rushed. A big step up from the A+ exam
Icnd1
Phew, this was a cakewalk after taking the 2. Very basic labs and concepts, and yeah, lots of subnetting. I felt that preparing for the two tests at he same time really made the icnd1 a breeze. If going the two test route I would definitely recommend preparing for both at the same time.
Again thanks to everyone and if anyone has questions (or job openings
) feel free to ask

Thanks! Ha, I wish I could say it was by design, but no matter what I tried I couldn't schedule the Icnd 1 at an earlier time than the 2.
I'm glad it worked out that way though, otherwise I don't think I would have passed the Icnd 2 after taking the 1 in the same day. -
